If you ask people what superpower they would choose if they could have one, they'll probably say they'd choose telekinesis, invisibility, or maybe pyrokinesis.

[...] Examples abound of the shape shifting of plants, animals, humans, and gods." Today, we're just going to focus on changing from human to animal and vice versa. Animals have many cool abilities. Some are venomous/poisonous and others can run long distances or run very quickly. Many also are very small or adorable but very deadly. Think of a slow loris, for example. Slow lorises are small, adorable primates that look like a living Beanie Boo. Doesn't sound very threatening, right? But lorises have a toxic, painful bite that can kill a human. Your enemy would definitely underestimate you, which can be used to your advantage. Many animals also have abilities that are superpowers. Birds can fly, fish are good at swimming and can breathe underwater, cheetahs can run quickly, rhinos are super strong, and most nocturnal animals can see well in the dark. That's flying, breathing underwater, super speed, super strength, and night vision, all available in only one power! Think of how awesome that would be! Plus, if you could shape-shift your senses could also be enhanced when your an animal! Shape-shifting is a pretty fantastic power that's super underrated. When thinking of what super power is the best, you should definitely consider it
